No-Bake Energy Bites

Directions

1. Wash hands with soap and water.

2. In a food processor, add oats and process until finely chopped; place in a large bowl. Add sunflower seed butter, honey, extract, cinnamon and salt and mix well; fold in dried fruit and chocolate chips. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

3. In a shallow dish, add cereal. In another shallow dish, combine flaxseed and chia seeds.

4. Use a spoon to scoop about a tablespoon of the mixture into your hand. Roll into a ball and coat in cereal, pressing firmly to adhere; roll in flaxseed mixture. Repeat with remaining mixture.

5. Store energy bites, covered, in the fridge for up to a week.
